RCV001797952 | SCV002041824 | likely pathogenic | Autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease | 2021-11-02 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Variant summary: The variant identified by MLPA or other technology involves the duplication of exons 38-49 in the PKHD1 gene. A presumed nomenclature of c.(6121+1_6122-1)_(7911+1_7912-1)dup has been designated for the purposes of this classification. It has been assumed that this is a tandem duplication in direct orientation (Richardson_GIM_2018, Newman_AJHG_2015). Although exact breakpoints of this duplication are not known, it is expected to result in an out-of-frame duplication in the PKHD1 gene. The variant was absent in 21578 control chromosomes (gnomAD database, Structural Variants dataset). The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.(6121+1_6122-1)_(7911+1_7912-1)dup in individuals affected with Polycystic Kidney and Hepatic Disease and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. One ClinVar submitter (evaluation after 2014) cites the variant as likely pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. |
